LOSERS, LAGWAGONS, AND LONG SHOTS

SIMPLE JEB'S LAST STAND

Temecula, CA – Tonight the
Republicans have their next debate as the main stream establishment
press has already anointed Billary as the Democratic nominee. P'shaw,
they wish.

Although we present the side of MSN
here in our article, there is no question that people are tuning in
because of Trump, like him or hate him, and 'Jeb' Bush. Reading Jeb's
latest statement is like watching a mentally challenged student bully in a
national spelling bee. It's not funny in the least and you can't wait
for it to end.

So the question is, 'how will Trump be
tonight?' Or at least that seems the question to many who support the
political outsider and the rich 'white Dennis Rodman' to so-called
middle America. Meanwhile Vermont continues to be the only state in
the Union NOT to have a cop kill a fellow citizen. And which state is
Bernie Sanders from again?

'Here are six things to watch.

1. Is Dr. Ben Carson in the hot seat?

The soft-spoken retired neurosurgeon generally has refused to go
after his Republican rivals. In the last debate, Donald Trump seemed
to pull his punches in return. But since then, there has been a round
of stories raising questions about details of Carson’s life story and some of his more controversial views
— including his belief that the pyramids may have been built
not as tombs for the pharaohs, but for grain storage by the Biblical
Joseph. Those furors provide an opening for Trump or others — if
they choose to use them.

2. Does Marco Rubio keep rising?

He’s gotten momentum from previous debates, and he has moved to address
questions about his use of a credit card provided by the Republican
Party when he was in the Florida legislature. But Trump has targeted
him for everything from a lack of experience to his tendency to
sweat.

Lagging in national polls, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and
former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee got bumped to the undercard – though that’s a forum Carly
Fiorina used effectively back at the first debate. This time, there
will be eight contenders on stage for the main event.

5. Is it the economy, stupid?

The debate is sponsored by the Fox Business Network and The
Wall Street Journal, and they promise to focus on jobs, taxes and the
economy. This could be a chance to hear the candidates challenge one
another about some of the significant differences among them on tax
policy and entitlement programs.

6. After the uproar over the last debate, do the
moderators change course?

The Oct. 28 encounter sponsored by CNBC was blasted by the candidates and others for its format and the tone of
the questions. Fox Business Network even ran a TV ad mocking its competitor for not asking ‘the real
questions’ or covering the ‘real issues.’ We’ll be watching
to see if the debate itself gets better reviews this time.' - Susan
